    This is a general query for the transfeminine folks out there:
    I am helping one of my friends (who is MtF) get a basic makeup set sorted and wanted to be able to help her get a good concealer/foundation pairing.
    What would you recommend (she has fairly light skin)?
    Other tips/tricks/product suggestions also welcome.
    She likes quite bold makeup looks.
    Thanks in advance!

    1.) Have someone show her first. Like whatever she chooses comes second. She needs a person to show her and put it on at first. Like sephora/MAC/bare minerals. Or whatever. I cannot stress this enough from personal experience.

    2.) Then watch tutorials if you want. But nothing beats simple practice and finding a style of your own.

    She should also get assistance at the store to match. It is so hard to match perfectly if you just go to CVS or something and wing it by bottle color.

    But bold colors? Urban Decay "Electric" eyeshadow. Definitely.
